My life was threatened after providing IT assistance to NDC – Music Producer

Music producer, David Kwamena Bolton, says his life was in danger after returning to Ghana at the request of former President Jerry John Rawlings in 1990.

According to him, he was invited by the former President to provide IT assistance to the government.

The computer whiz kid was however accused of rigging the 1992 elections in Ghana in favour of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM with Andy Dosty, the music producer revealed that his life was greatly threatened after NDC won the elections.

“There was the whole brouhaha over NPP boycotting and all of these. Then NDC won the elections. Because I was seen as an IT guru at the time, I was actually accused of rigging the 1992 elections. It was published,” he said.

“I then had death threats and phone calls. People were following me back then in1993. I actually had a car chase in the middle of the night. They tried to knock me off the road. That point I had to get personal security,” he recounted.

David Kwamena Bolton in spite of the allegations noted that he was not actively involved in the politics of the country though he was a friend of former President Rawlings.

“I became very close to him. I didn’t have a political bone in my body. I was here to help the nation,” he said.
